Grabbing Tropico Reloaded and Tropico 3 Gold rclxms.gif

The price for Tropico 4 still kind of... steep tongue.gif

You'll get many hours out of Tropico 3 biggrin.gif

Maybe by the time you're bored of Tropico 3, there will be a good enough price for Tropico 4, maybe even a bundle containing all the DLC.

Just hold off getting Rage if you can. Id Soft royally screwed up the game, really disappointing for such an experienced longtime developer in the industry.  doh.gif

Finally understand why they choose the title........  sweat.gif

I hope they won't make the same mistake with Doom 4 which supposed to be their next project sweat.gif I'll really rage if they screw up my favorite Doom series vmad.gif

Do you think they will give us some money in steam wallet?
Last time when Sony hacked by others, thy give ppl station cash.

I believe Sony's protection wasn't enough to prevent the leak of personal info including credit card number.

Here, Valve have all the info encrypted even as they are stored in their own database, so while they managed to gain access to the database, all they see are encrypted info.

What a shame. Remember the time when Gabe challenged those hackers to hack STEAM cos he's so confident with steam's security he dont think anyone will ever be able to break the lock.

You just got served, sir.

No one is losing their Steam account. The passwords are encrypted. They are not dumb like Sony who put all password in plain text!

And even if they get hold of your password, they cannot change your password due to Steam guard.


So, no one has beaten Gabe Newell's challenge yet, as his challenge was to get hold of his account smile.gif

is this website trustful?
cjs-cdkeys.com

There are some cd key sites that do sell legit keys. How it is cheaper is that they buy from regions where its cheaper, like Russia, and resell them.

I've never use cjs before, but I've bought Battlefield 3 from cdkeyhouse. and it works just fine. But as far as I can tell, both cjs and cdkeyhouse are the most reputable ones.

There are many other cd key sites online, but I wouldn't recommend them. Some of them sell at an even cheaper price than these sites, and they turn out to be stolen.

Its up to you of course. Just remember that if something is too cheap, then you should stay away. Last I check, converting Russia's game price to USD results in 50% of US price, so keep that in mind. If something is much cheaper than 50%, its probably too risky.

Ugh, so I assume everyone changed their Steam password? I dont feel like doing so but.... hmm.gif I mean I've been using it since 08 so....

So far there's no evidence that our Steam password was compromised, as they were encrypted. I think its safe if you choose to keep it.

Reason being that it was almost a week before everyone realize and start changing our password. If the hackers really had our password, they would have been trying to steal account long before we knew.

But even if a hacker have your password, Steam Guard will ensure your account safety.

As long as your email is a different password sweat.gif
If they are the same, then you should change at least one of them

And I've never played a hybrid class before. Time to play Oblivion again biggrin.gif

Anyone able to help verify whether this site is accurate or not? I can't access Steam and need to list down the games I want before I fly off tonight (don't really want to miss out the sales man).

I checked a few games according to their list... it is indeed correct.

can all steam games be played in offline mode?
*
Can't say I've had any problem with any of my games in offline mode. As long as a game doesn't have additional 3rd party DRM that needs online authentication, it shouldn't be a problem.

If a game is running say, Ubisoft's DRM that requires internet connection all the time, then the problem is with that game itself. Steam or not you can't run such game if your internet service is down.

I was thinking of passing HAWX 1&2 but since its like the ONLY modern arcade flight sim for the PC, I think I'll reconsider just for the sake of getting to use my Saitek Hotas.
I only managed to finish HAWX 1 on retail bought years ago. But from what I heard HAWX 2 is pretty much the same old stuff plus the more over the top 'evil organizations' doomsday invasion crap.

Oh, the second game contains the infamous Ubisoft always on online DRM thing while the first one one surprisingly have no form of DRM whatsoever.

Thanks for the feedback.

On a side note, I've been wanting to play an arcade flight game for a long time too since Ace Combat, so I'm considering HAWX.

Had the DCS A-10 game too, but I still can't even remember all the procedure to start up the aircraft sweat.gif Guess flight sim is not my thing.

Yes, this is the last day of Autumn Sale, so all of the discounts will be gone

Except for any games that have their own sale that isn't part of this Autumn Sale, but almost all games on discount right now are Autumn Sale discounts.

5mbps should be fine. Patch on Steam or TDU2 launcher, which one has stop working / unresponsive? As far as i know, there're no offline patch. I solved this problem with Steam "verify integrity of game cache" because the game seems take forever to load on the launcher.
*
After installation, my TDU2 still insist on downloading a 500MB patch through its launcher. I've even verified the game files through steam and they are fine.

I suspect that this 500MB file wasn't released through Steam for some reason.

I assume you both just bought the game from recent promo right? I bought it from last July promo and there were quite lot of user having problem registering the CD-key, but it was patched later. So you guys need to have little bit of patience, let them sort out the auto update or whatever it is at their end. You can try browsing the official forum for troubleshooting, but it's hard to find which one specifically for your problem because there are quite large amount of complain threads on their forum.
Again, i suspect the always online DRM play a big part on this issue. Hence, lack or almost non-existence offline patch. The only offline patch that i found from google only for the skid row version.

Yeah, from Autumn sales

Hopefully it works soon
